Israel Premier-Tech’s Field of Dreams project sparks electrification for hundreds of Rwandan families
Israel Premier-Tech help bring solar panels to Bugasera community to help young cyc🤡lists✤ train

The Tour du Rwanda is always a unique race in the calendar, but this year it held special significance for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Israel Premier-Tech, who used the race as a season debut for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chris Froome while also ꧙launching their charitable initiatives in Rwanda - the𓂃 Field of Dreams.
The Field of Dreams project, heavily promoted across Israel Premier-Tech’s 2022 Tour de France racing 🎉kit, has garnered financial support from thousands of cycling fans a🍃nd has now given rise to🐟 new charitable efforts in the region.
The Field of Dreams centre was op🍰ened just before the Tour du Rwanda in the district of Bugesera, with Chris Froome attending the opening of the newly build-pump track and 1.2km cycling course - the fir🦄st of several planned training facilities within the centre.
Seeking to expand the community benefits of the centre, Israel Premier-Tech has partnered with Ignite power - a leading pan-African off-grid solar company based in Israel and the UAE - to install solar-powered systems in the home♍s of children who are participating in the centre’s activit𝓀ies.
Ignite Power has installed solar systems in 20 homes in the area, with plans to electrify 200 more homes in the next year. The solar systems will offer e🍸lectricity to aid young cyclists’ study while also supporting lighting, cooking and communication for the residents in Bugesera.
Israel Premier-Tech owner Sylvan Adams said of the projಌect, “This Field of Dreams that we built is the foundation for virtuous branches that provide sorely needed aid to our adopted Bugesera community.”
“The best example is our partnership with Ignite, bringing solar-powered electricity to our community for the first time. These installations provide elect💫ricity for light, cooking, and even the ability to charg🌜e cell phones, saving people from the prohibitively expensive service provided by charging vendors.”

Rwandan President Paul Kagame has also vocally supported the Field of Dream🎀s initiatಌive. “I am deeply appreciative of this,” said the President.
Rwanda will host Africa’s first UCI Road World Championships in 2025, and the Field of Dꦕreams centre will offer an opportunity for weekly races between riders across the country. The team hopes that the pro෴ject will substantially boost cycling in the area ahead of the World Championship event.
Followin♑g the construction of the pump track and cycling course, Israel Premier-Tech will now aim to develop a building to house a cycling centre and academy.
Chris Froome, who opened the centre before making his eye-catchin🥀g debut at the Tour of Rwanda, spoke passionately about his role in the Field of Dreams centre. "Witnessing the joy on the kids' faces while they rode felt like a great victory," Froome said at the inauguration𝓀. "It is a game-changer project."
